- I'm thinking.

I thought you came prepared

for everything.

Get up. Get rid of him.

By the way,

if he suspects anything...

...he's dead because of you.

All right. Go!

Hi, sir. Hope I'm not too early.

First things first, Henry.

Didn't I ask you to call me Jake?

Sir...

I went to military school...

...and I was taught way more

respect for rank to do that.

I can see that, Henry. I

can see that. Listen here, kid...

...I, my daughter...

...she brought me home

the flu, Henry.

She wasn't only contagious...

...but she was very, very generous

and I'm not sure...

...whether I want to return the

favor to the precinct...

...you understand?

Okay. Should I get you

some medication from the store?

No. It's okay, Henry. It's fine.

I just need a couple days...

...rest is all.

- Sir, don't say that.

My girlfriend is one of those

believers in not using any drugs.

Well, pharmacy drugs of course, and

she can stay sick for weeks...

...and I watched one of those

doctor shows and some viruses...

...can just kill you...

Are you sure? I can be quick,

can go grab it and I'll be...

...back in f..king two minutes

tops. Are you sure?

I'm sure, Henry. Thank you.

I'm sure. And you know what?

Actually, I apologize.

I should have let you know.

I should've given you a call.

- It's no problem, sir.

I hope you get everything solved

with your wife. Well, ex-wife.

When my parents divorced

it was pretty messy.

I mean, it's not unusual for

ex-life partners to get along...

...with each other afterward,

especially with a child...

...in the middle. And I mean,

you have a daughter and all...

Stop! Stop, stop, listen to

me, Henry, please, just...

...do yourself a favor, go to work

and stay away from the...

...coffee machine, okay?

- Yes, sir...

Sorry, I kinda talk too much

when...

Well, anyway, have a good day, sir.

Okay.

Just walk away, kid.

Walk away.

What the f..k was he doing

here?

C'mon, guys, just relax.

My wife's car broke down.

Henry came to pick me up.

It's called divorce.

Watch your mouth, smartass.

You did good, Jake.

Did I have a choice?

We've wasted enough time

here. Let's get back to work...

...shall we?

Again, what are we doing here?

Jess said she had some info

for us.

Any chance she picked the spot?

Yep. I'm gonna go

check it out.

Please.

You okay?

I'm fine. How's our guest?

He's fine. He's not going

anywhere.

Just keep an eye on him.

And find that profile.

- Gimme a second to catch...

...my breath, okay?

That was a f..king close call.

We can't expect

everything to go as planned.

The key is to just a keep a

handle on things and make sure...

...we do what we came to do.
